Specifically, what are the areas of improvement the rookie quarterback needs to make to build off Sunday’s 24-21 comeback victory.

Mike Sherman, the Miami Dolphins’ blunt-speaking offensive coordinator and the man who knows Tannehill best in the building, went right for the overturned end-zone interception Tannehill threw in the fourth quarter.

“Well, not to make that throw back across the grain,” Sherman said. “That would probably be the next step. We have to make sure he doesn’t do that, which I doubt very much he will.”

During their time together at Texas A&M, where Tannehill played well enough to be chosen eighth overall in the NFL Draft but not well enough to keep Sherman from getting fired, the kid showed an impressive ability to be self-critical – in a healthy way.

“One thing, as I’ve said before and I’ll continue to say it, he’s the first one to know when he screws up and makes a mistake,” Sherman said. “He’s hard on himself. I’m glad we survived that, but I doubt very much you’ll see that pass again.”

What about the next step Tannehill needs to take to climb the ranks of NFL quarterbacks? Tom Brady comes in here Sunday ranked second in the league in passer rating, just behind Aaron Rodgers.

Meanwhile, Tannehill actuallly dropped a spot Sunday, from 30th to 31st, among the 34 qualifying passers. He is just behind Jets flop Mark Sanchez in the ratings.

“The next step for him is just to continue to believe in himself and to have the confidence he demonstrated to the rest of the team, particularly the offense, where we had the ball there at the end of the game,” Sherman said. “They all believed in him and trusted him. Just to build off that confidence, I think, is the biggest thing.”

How about you? What improvements do you still want to see from Tannehill?
